Her Billionaire Husband

Chapter 1299

Veronica Murphy made an ‘OK’ gesture with her hand. “Remember what you said today. Next time, it’s your treat.”

With that, she went into the bedroom to freshen up. Eleanor Gomez tossed her crutch aside and hobbled into the bedroom, settling on the bed. “Come on, spill the beans. What were you up to yesterday?”

Late last night, Eleanor Gomez had gone looking for Veronica Murphy, only to discover that she wasn’t in the room. It wasn’t surprising, considering Veronica Murphy had rushed her out earlier, behaving somewhat unusually.

“Just met up with a friend,” Veronica Murphy replied dismissively. Seeing that she wasn’t willing to elaborate, Eleanor Gomez didn’t press further. Instead, she lay down on the bed and let out a deep sigh. “I envy all of you. You can go wherever you want.”

She lifted her leg in a cast. “Once I’m better, I’ll be able to go wherever I please too.”

“Learned a lesson so that next time you won’t go ‘joyriding’ again,” Veronica Murphy muttered with a mouthful of foam as she brushed her teeth.

Once she finished freshening up and changed into a new outfit, she went downstairs with Eleanor Gomez to have a meal. Troy Ritter had been waiting for the two of them in the hotel restaurant.

As soon as he saw them approaching, he immediately came forward and asked, “What would you like to eat? I’ll get it for you.”

“Eleanor Gomez, you sit down. I’ll go with Troy Ritter to get the food,” Veronica Murphy pointed to a seat by the window and said to Eleanor Gomez. Considering Eleanor Gomez’s limited mobility, Veronica Murphy took great care of her.

Eleanor Gomez walked over to the chair by the window and told the two what she wanted for breakfast. They then headed towards the breakfast counter. The restaurant was neither crowded nor empty, and the noise level was slightly loud.

Veronica Murphy walked up to Troy Ritter and whispered, “Eleanor Gomez and I will be fine here. You should go back to Bloomstead. Matt… he probably needs you now.”

Troy Ritter and Thomas Ritter were Matthew Kings’ right-hand men, and now that he was in a difficult situation, what he needed most was manpower.

Troy Ritter looked meaningfully at Veronica Murphy and shook his head. “The boss ordered me to stay.” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“What? My words don’t count?” Veronica Murphy turned her head slightly, her sharp gaze piercing Troy Ritter, exerting some pressure on him.

As Troy Ritter hesitated, Veronica Murphy continued, “You know Matt’s situation better than I do. Whether you want to go back and help him, that’s up to you.”

She threw the question back at Troy Ritter. Although Troy Ritter was worried about leaving Veronica Murphy and Eleanor Gomez alone, his greatest concern at the moment was still Matthew Kings.

After all, Thomas Ritter had always been by Matthew Kings’ side, and he would be the first to inform him of any movement or activity. After hesitating for a moment, Troy Ritter said, “Well… Lady, could you please take care of Miss Gomez?”

Veronica Murphy glanced at him and furrowed her brows slightly, “You seem quite concerned about Eleanor Gomez. Could it be that you like her?”

Based on her years of gossip experience, she felt that Troy Ritter had some feelings for Eleanor Gomez.

“Lady, please don’t joke about it. It’s just the boss’s orders,” Troy Ritter replied, without revealing anything.

Veronica Murphy didn’t delve into the matter any further. The two of them ordered some breakfast and returned to their seats to dine with Eleanor Gomez.

During the meal, Troy Ritter mentioned that he had to return to Bloomstead. Eleanor Gomez nodded in agreement, saying, “Alright. It’s good to go back to Bloomstead.” It was wonderful not to have anyone “supervising” her.

“Lady, you’ll be busy filming during the day, so if you get bored, I’ll arrange for someone to keep you company,” Troy Ritter expressed his concern for Eleanor Gomez.

Having known her for a while, he knew that Eleanor Gomez was not an easy person to handle, which worried him.

“Sure, sure, that won’t be necessary.”

Eleanor Gomez was in a pleasant mood as she lowered her head and took a sip of the signature Lothen pudding, finding it incredibly delicious.
